Winners were Jim Hodges and Mark Campion.
They combined for a score of 36 points with Hodges taking 46lb 40z of carp and Campion adding 6lb 2oz of silver fish.
The runners-up spot was shared by Gordon Green (53lb 4oz carp) with Peter Rue (2lb 130z silver), and the duo of Andy Howard (21lb carp) and Peter Sargeant (6lb 7oz silver).
Best carp weight was Mark Sugden with 113lb 15oz, while Les Lavotha topped the silverfish scales with 7lb 15oz.
